If you’re looking for the perfect destination to make your holiday season merry, you must check it out:
Visit Minot, North Dakota's downtown for a gorgeous holiday scene.
The lights are done by Minot's Pretty Lights, a local holiday lights business that began in Minot and professionally strings lights for homes, businesses, and events.
During the holidays you can catch a glimpse of these gorgeous lights all along the historic buildings in the heart of the city and throughout the neighborhoods at houses they've decorated.
Other parts of Minot are also glowing in color, including the beautiful and fascinating Scandinavian Heritage Park. The park usually decorates many of the unique Scandinavian buildings and surrounding trees in lights for Christmas.
If you visit Minot on Saturday, December 15, 2018, you'll be able to see a rolling light show that will enchant you in the best way possible. The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train comes through Minot every year all decked out in lights with live music and fun for everyone.
No matter what time of the holiday season you go, Minot will definitely be shining bright with stunning lights that will get you right into the holiday spirit.
Have you seen Minot during the holidays before? Even if you can’t go during Christmastime, you definitely should visit Minot at some point in the year. The Scandinavian Heritage Park, in particular, is awesome to visit – and entirely free! Read more about it right here.
